Thanks to some geniuses (could someone name them?), we have type

As far as names go:

Girard and Reynolds?
Yes, that's the obvious suspects, of course. But I'm not sure I would
say they brought polymorphism (assuming that's what is meant by "higher
order types") to Haskell. Not in the same way Wadler and co. brought
type classes, quite specifically, to Haskell.
